The food, the service, and the ambiance, are all right on point. I love how the menu caters to all types of food genres.

Once again outstanding... went this past Friday at lunch time. They were super busy, but were able to get in and out. Was scared at first but perfect like always... food wises the cheese grits were the best grits I've ever had. read more

Everything was just a little bit off. It seems like they have a floating service, which was actually nice. There was always a waiter or waitress available. And the restaurant is nicely, decorated and lit low creating a somewhat romantic ambience. Food, though... Spinach artichoke dip was fantastic, especially if you like really really small portions. My medium rare steak was a hockey puck. Not a drop of pink. And the blue cheese was just sprinkled over the top with no heat applied. Could've just pulled that off my salad. As with the blue cheese, my mashed potatoes seemed like the toppings were added as an afterthought. Nothing about this meal integrated well. Both of the salads were just OK as well. Nothing that would get me out of the house. I won't be coming back unless I get a hankering for that tiny spinach artichoke dip. read more

Fresh Chef in Mooresville. I enjoyed stopping in for dinner with family. The daily drink special was a margarita for $5. It was served in a tall glass and hit the spot. I ordered the Grilled Salmon served with cilantro rice and broccoli for my entree. This is one of my staple entrees when visiting Fresh Chef locations. I was particularly hungry this Friday evening and enjoyed my drink and dinner before thinking about taking a photo! The meal was served promptly and was scrumptious. We shared the key lime pie for dessert, which was pleasantly delicious. I remembered to take a photo of the pie. The young staff members were cordial and polite - very well done. read more

What a terrific find from a web search for "restaurants with salads". Wife and I had a wonderful meal. We had a shared appetizer, each had a glass of wine and entree size salads, all of which was delicious, for $70 + tip. read more

Fresh Chef Kitchen - Blackened grilled salmon salad - New American Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

It's a good little spot.... This place is smaller than the other locations, and most people don't know it exists--I'm not referring to all the people in the world, but that would also be the case. I was referring to the people in the Lake Norman area. If you say Fresh Chef, they think of the original location in Cornelius. Or they might think of a dude with a mustache in a chef hat. If you do happen to find this Fresh Chef off Brawley School Road in Mooresville, you will find a great staff, a good burger, pretty good fries, an excellent teriyaki wrap, superb cilantro rice, a delicious brownie-ice-cream thing (whip cream included), and good music. The only minor negatives were that prices are slightly high, and my son's burger was more Medium Well than Medium but no place is perfect and the food is truly very good. I didn't have a drink on this occasion but it seems like a great place to unwind with a wine or Old Fashioned. It's more of a chill place than a high-energy place. And it's casually classy without being pretentious. Overall, definitely recommended! read more

I tried the one in Denver and it was one of the best restaurants in that area. The food is original, the service was excellent and restaurant is very inviting. read more

I'd been to a Fresh Chef location before, but it had been a while. I met up with a friend for lunch here and for a Monday, I was surprised that the parking lot was full. However, we still received prompt service, so I think the parking lot might just be a bit small. I have never had shrimp and grits, but I decided I had to change that today. When I ordered it, the waiter said, "Good choice!" I would agree after trying it. In my mind, I was just expecting a few pieces of shrimp on plain grits with a few pieces of garnish, so I was surprised when this came out. I dunno how it compares to other shrimp and grits, but I don't think I want to eat any others. This was a 10/10 for me! The portion was also huge, so you could easily get leftovers. read more

I was in the mood for a salad and stopped here for the first time. The vibe is cool here and we sat at a comfy table. Our server was very attentive and we reviewed our food in a reasonable amount of time. I tried the Blackened Chicken Wrap with a side of Kale salad. The salad had a kick to it and was very good. The wrap consisted of: Blackened chicken breast, mixed greens, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles, herb vinaigrette, cucumbers, sautéed peppers and onions. This was filling and flavorful. I could only eat half my lunch. I really enjoyed this wrap and savored the taste. read more

Called before closing and was told " we close on 8mins so ...." First Hire better Second it's 7pm do better stay open till at least 9pm Third if you close at 8 - you close taking orders. So take orders until 8 and allow pick ups at 8:20 Not going back and have bought HUNDREDS of dollars in meals! read more

The food is great We love the food. The problem is when you order carry out. You have to open up everything and make sure you have what you ordered because they will forget something every time. Might be salad dressing might be a side dish but they will forget something if you do not check. I have even gotten the wrong food altogether, but at least four different times out of five that I've carried out they forgotten dressing or something. I don't mind paying money for good food, but I shouldn't have to look through the bags and make sure I got everything I ordered. read more

I absolutely loved it and I am obsessed with their make ceased salad with salmon. Every time I pass through it I think I need to come back. Service is friendly and fast, they have great suggestions we all loved all of our order. The am ambience is very nice it's better than dinner but not up scale just really well decorated fine dining chic cool even. I definitely recommends quick note they add a credit card service fee. read more

Always happy, good food, usual prices, STAFF IS GREAT w/lots of friendly young people, & open on Sunday...& comfortable booths ;)

Overall experience. Meh. Came on a Tuesday around 12:30. Their parking lot is small and was full with no room to turn around if you find yourself in the same predicament I was in. So using your back up skills, just hope no one comes behind you. Good thing is they share a huge parking lot with Publix. Walked in and was kindly greeted and sat at the bar top area. Came for some grub and to work for a bit. They don't have WI-FI so unless you have a great hotspot, this isn't the place to do so. All the staff I came across or overheard were friendly and prompt. Food and drinks wise: I ordered a beer. Was served flat so she had to go to the back to replace something and that corrected the problem. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on a hamburger bun rather than the Texas toast. They grilled the Texas toast, so I asked for them to do the same for the bun. It wasn't. And I would have assumed the cheese would be melted on the sandwich but came out with sprinkled cold cheese. It wasn't bad, but it was good either. The carrots looked delicious and I would have assumed a ton of flavor. Bland and missing something to really make them pop. I added salt and it helped, but took two bites and was over them. They do half off bottles of wine on Tuesdays, so that's a plus! read more

Let me tell you the staff was so kind! I had ordered my food online and was being picked up by my co-worker among other orders. Well by the time it was time for me to go to lunch, she had forgotten to pick mine up. So I went to fresh chef to pick up my order, the manager Alexis without hesitation had my order remade, she's like your order has been sitting there for a while. I shared with her that they forgot mine by accident. It's so refreshing to see that! I am a regular here and definitely recommend. Thank you Alexis. read more

We normally love the food at Fresh Chef, however we went for an early dinner for my birthday and were very disappointed. They brought out mushrooms instead of Brussel Sprout. They fixed it. However, we ordered the "Grilled Brussels Sprouts" and they brought them out boiled and microwaved. We asked the waitress and she said this is how they are now prepared all of the time. This was combined with onions on a sandwich when we requested none, and missing the extra pickles we asked for. They replaced the sprouts with our other favorite, kale salad, which was so far from the normal taste and lacking any dressing. Poor quality meal today! I hope they get better as we used to eat here frequently but this is our second bad meal. One shot left to improve. read more

Great food and great service but they don't do brunch!! They do have mimosas and bloody Mary's though!! read more

The pasta and chicken were great. The chicken was seasoned well and there was a perfect amount of sauce on the pasta. I would definitely get it again and wouldn't feel obligated to try anything new. My only gripe is that for the price, the amount of grits was pretty lackluster. They tasted great but only lasted about 6 spoonfuls. read more

We met family here for an early dinner on a Wed night and didn't enjoy the food at all. None of us enjoyed our entrees. . I've eaten as this location before and had a very positive experience so I'm going to guess this was just a one off night for the kitchen. It was $5 margarita night and those were ok, a little light on the tequila tho, but still good. My ribs were dry and drowned in sauce. The french fries were good tho and I shared it with my granddaughter. She ordered pasta Alfredo and didn't like that it was covered with green onions which couldn't really be picked off. The onion taste was already too strong on the pasta. Restaurant kitchens should never garnish anything ordered from the kids menu with onions of any kind. Chances are, a child won't eat it. My grandson's burger was over cooked, dry and tough so he didn't finish it. If it weren't for the fries, both kids would've gone home hungry. My hub's seafood pasta had no scallops, 5 pieces of shrimp, a handful of broccoli and a salmon filet on the side. He was told that the kitchen doubled the shrimp because they were out of scallops. So I'm guessing the seafood pasta normally has 2-1/2 pieces of shrimp? The salmon was overcooked and the sauce on this dish was not visible. This entree was not worth the over $20 price tag. Our daughter always gets the salmon piccata which is her favorite and usually pretty good but this night it was sadly lacking in flavor. She didn't finish it either. So the only things we enjoyed that night were the margaritas and the fries. Service was good and prompt. The front of house staff was great. The food just sucked. Hopefully it's just the kitchen having an off night. read more

This was my first time at Fresh Chef, and I'll definitely be back! I had the ahi tuna salad, and my friend had the grilled chicken salad. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was quick, and our waitress was friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place for lunch, dinner or a to go meal! read more

Meals are consistently good but for me just slightly miss the mark. When ordering a entree with sauce, i.e., Marsala or Piccata, there is not enough sauce to enhance the pasta. The meat is moist and has the sauce flavor but just a few more tablespoons of sauce on the pasta would make it perfect IMO. The chicken was tender and tasty. Pasta is good, don't know why they put cheese on mashed potatoes. When I order, I just have to remember to ask for extra sauce and no cheese on mashed potatoes and it's alll good. read more

You are SO fortunate if you live near here! We were in the mood for fish. Not being from here we had no idea where to go. Not a lot of options in Mooresville for "Fresh Fish". My husband chose Fresh Chef Kitchen based on reviews and pics. THANK YOU COMMUNITY! OMGOSH OMGOSH OMGOSH!!! Our waitress was super... Informative, confident, knowledge, great energy! Since it was our first time she brought us a sample of guacamole & chips. Very good. (She said they love giving samples so don't hesitate to ask) We ordered the Salmon w rice and veggie plus shared a house salad. You can have your Salmon 3 ways... sushi, medium-well, well-done. We ordered MW & WD. Excellent!!!! The plate was perfect . My husband and I devoured everything. We couldn't decide on which dessert so we tried all 3. OMGOODNESS OMGOODNESS OMGOODNESS. Our favorite was the Strawberry Shortcake. All made from scratch and delicious. The key lime pie is rich and flavorful. Chocolate chip brownie w ice cream... can't go wrong, especially w no nuts. Note there is NO freezer at this restaurant so everything is made fresh and from scratch! If we lived here we would be here multiple times a month!!! Both managers Todd and Rob were excellent w conversation as well as information about the town. Thank you for making our last night here in Mooresville a happy memory! read more

Finally a place with great service and great food at a good price. Prime rib, salmon and bleu salad were great. Homemade smoked salmon was great. The bloody Mary was solid and at $6 was the fairest price I've paid for a cocktail in a year. The only total suckage thing is they add a fee for using a credit card and I paid cash so they pissed me off big time. Because of that I won't go back if its out of the way but if I'm in Mooresville and the team wants dinner I won't say no read more

Our waiter seemed new, eager to please. They don't know how to make an Irish coffee but my wife loved her Bahama mama. She had the salmon piccata, done to perfection, though the angel hair pasta was a little overcooked. I had the Hawaiian chicken breast with the cilantro rice and broccoli. Basically a slice of pineapple on chicken. Broccoli was undercooked. Rice was the best part of the dish. Restaurant is a little dark for the fresh part. I would expect more color. It was our anniversary so we tried something different. Not sure if we'll be back but it's a decent Restaurant. Paid over 80 bucks for everything. read more

I love Fresh Chef! As the name indicates, the food is fresh and tastes healthy. My favorite item is the black and blue salad - the veggies are crisp and the steak is actually cooked to the temperature you prefer. I usually share the salad with whoever I go with and the staff and always awesome about splitting it up for us! Also, you have to try the creamy garlic sauce with French fries - it is out of this world. read more

When you can say that EVERY SINGLE THING was amazing, then yea, you get 5 stars. You should get more. That was my experience today - we ate a lot. The kale? Yes, I said kale and prior to today, wouldn't have ever ordered it. Get it. Seriously. The flavors and seasoning are fantastic. And don't even get me started on the Chicken Tortilla Soup. Hands down the best I've ever had, not kidding and that is a bold statement considering how many I've tried. New favorite, cannot wait to go back. 150° outside and I'll still get it. Oh, there's more - the Prime Rib special? Melt in your mouth fabulous. Inhaled it. But let's not forget dessert - three words: key. lime. pie. Thick key lime on thick graham cracker crust. Epic. Round out this meal with amazing service, awesome atmosphere and did I mention EVERYTHING was amazing? Go. You're welcome. read more

I've always loved Fresh Chef but this time it was awful - Ahi Tuna was inedible. First ahi tuna served with ginger and wasabi to be heavily blackened - burned my mouth. Caesar salad was drowned in dressing. Waitress pestered us for order right after we sat down then completely disappeared and manager too our order. Never offered us drink refresh. Music was blaring rock and roll. Ladies room's floor was oily slick. read more

My daughter and her boyfriend took my son and I here for lunch. I was a bit skeptical at first bc of the name but from the moment we walked in, I was pleased! The staff from the front of the house to the back of house are all amazing and so friendly!! The food is so good, and came out in a very timely manner also. This place has a system of serving that I've never seen, and it works so well! This is definitely a must try!! I had the BLT, my daughter had a blackened chicken wrap, and my son had the shrimp Alfredo. Oh, and they have shoestring fries!!! This place will definitely not disappoint, and there is also another location in Cornelius (but I haven't been to that one so I can't say if it's as good or not). read more

Me and my family went here for a lunner at 3pm. Only one other table was occupied at that time but we found that the service and food and ambiance to be spot on!

Got the steak wrap, it was good, tasted fresh. Ordered To go so it was soggy. A little expensive but you pay for healthy I guess

Went here with family. Service was fairly quick and paid attention to us. I got the cajun trout and fries. Everything was so bland, unseasoned and flavorless. If you don't like seasoning or salt this is the place for you because there was literally none at all on out plates. Quality of the ingredients is fine I suppose, but its impossible to tell when you can't taste a single thing. Even after salting the life out of our food is was still so flavorless and bland. Do not recommend at all unless you're trying to watch your sodium. read more

Wow, do I love this place. the shrimp dish is so good I have to force myself not to go to often. I don't want to burn out. The staff is always so happy and pleasant.
